Research-Supported Beliefs
- Teacher quality influences student achievement more than any
other factor.
- Developing teacher understanding of learning increases instructional
intentionality.
- Instructional materials should equip teachers for intentional
instruction that results in authentic student learning.
- Neurocognitive and related fields of research offer insights
that can inform and improve instruction.
- It is a grave mistake not to be proactive in responding to current
research and its implications for education. Ignoring research
causes a delay in applying methods that improve learning and increase
student achievement. Such delay allows individuals and organizations
with interests other than student learning (e.g., profit) to define
how and when research should be applied to teaching.
